Hello again my friends/minions/ assorted other people. So I returned last night from a weeklong vacation with my brother and dad in Canada. Land of kind people (from my experience) Tim Horton’s, and wonderful nature.
While I was in Canada I felt several times overwhelmed. Simply due to kindness from people I’ll likely never see again. I had people ask about how I was doing when I came down into the hotel lobby at almost midnight. Tourists had gone to bed (mostly) and I couldn’t sleep due to my own mind eating itself, well that and my dad and brothers’ snoring.
So I just walked… I remembered when I’d first gotten a tattoo on my left wrist in celebration of staying clean from self-harm. I really don’t think about it too much anymore truth be told. I just realized that I didn’t need it as a coping mechanism anymore, thank God for that too…
While I was in Canada, I was chatting with a gal I’d matched with on Bumble of all things. I’d downloaded the app per my friend Caleb’s recommendation. Still don’t know for sure if he was joking or not…
In any case I matched with this gal and we’ve been chatting. I basically had a smile on my face anytime I was connected to wifi and had a chance to read texts. My brother remarked as we were heading back to Boise Idaho that I’d basically been messaging her all vacation. Not ENTIRELY true… but pretty much any time I had wifi… Haha and to be honest jsut this gal’s personality is so refreshing. Honest, sweet.
Interestingly she asked me what was my reasoning for swiping on her. Her smile, her eyes, filled with a sweet heart and a lil mischief, the fact her profile said her religious views were Christian. Honestly it was all these lil’ things and I told her as much. Not sure where things will go but I’m GENUINELY hopeful for the first time in a long while.
More to come though my minions. I may leave y’all a video or meme cookie. Don’t question what comes. There’s really no explaining the way my brain thinks things are humorous.
